ON SEGREGATION Announcing his view on segre gation, Fowler, who ran for the presidency independently, ' said, "Last spring's decision of the Su preme Court placed North Caro lina and the rest of the South in a position of no longer avoiding the issue ... I want to make it clear from the outset that I have faith in the wisdom of the officials and the governor of our state ... I, for one, will give them my full support when their decision is made known." PANTY RAIDS Fowler accented in his address that "Administration officials, lo cal police, and you and I will have to work together to solve this pro blem" (panty raids). "AKthough no serious damage was incurred, the University suf fered a loss in reputation ... it is up to us, as student govern ment officials, to take the respon sibility of preventing any such fu ture events," the new president said.

The Student Party had to have a dynamic appeal by Bill Baum and a reminding of political protocol and manners by Tom Lambeth to snare a minority of the elected offices. It was sweet revenge for the UP. It had been the underdog, plurality-wise, for more than four as semblies until an overwhelming trend in this year's elections swept the SP control out the window. Continually SP legislators made direct appeals to the UP for sup pott.' Bob Harrington (SP) even asked for support for the ser-geant-at-arms post "on bended knees" but to no avail as Jerry Martin won by a 21-19 plurality. MONTEITH SPEAKER PRO TEM The UP control began to show top hand with the first election ! that of naming speaker pro tempore. Jim Monteith (UP) took the spot 22-17 over Bob Young (SP). Then the UP numerical control gave almost humiliating defeat to the SP without interuption until Bill Baum captured chairmanship of the Rules Committee. Tom Lambeth captured the other im- 1 portant p6 the SP got only after I reminding UP-run body that both parties were, according to custom, supposed to have repre sentation on the Publications (See UP, page 4) States. Creasy said all areas of the country were represented with some 200 representatives from 90 different colleges and univer sities. The conference lasted four days. "It was not a conference t0 try to propagandize integration, but solely to. bring all sections of the country together to discuss sec tional beliefs and attitudes in re gard to the very serious problem of integration today," Creasy said. The outgoing president of the student body said, "I tried to pre sent the feelings of the Southern people." Creasy ended his term of office last night. Creasy said he told the con ference "the Southern people are not opposed to equal oppor tunities for the minority races, but simply feel that we are not ready for integration between the races at this time." He said, "I found that (integra tion) was also a problem in the North today and that they are far from setting the problem them selves." On the conference ne said, "No big resolutions were presnted, but it seemed to me that the con sensus ... of the conference was that integration should evolve through evolution rather than revolution.
